The pro-life organization known as Every Black Life Matters (EBLM), a Christian alternative to Black Lives Matter, has sent a letter of commendation to President Donald Trump as he leaves office.

In a press release Tuesday, EBLM announced its open commendation letter, signed by the group’s co-founders, Kevin McGary, president; Neil Mammen, executive vice president; and more than 300 individuals, many of whom offered their personal thanks in separate messages.

“While there have been many Presidents of the U.S. who have asserted support for the Black community, you have fully demonstrated your commitment and resolve to support and improve Black life by standing firm on the right to life,” the letter reads, and continues:

While Progressives/Leftists/Democrats publicly decry “racism,” privately, they have remained silent and complicit while one of their primary funding sources (Planned Parenthood) admitted their notable history of racism (PP of NY July 2020). You, on the other hand, have consistently stood against Planned Parenthood’s racism and publicly acknowledged their tactics and schemes to “exterminate the negro population” (actual quote from PP Founder, Margret Sanger) as the equivalency to “Black genocide!” Your stand is righteous and correct!

EBLM especially thanked Trump for advancing the black community in many ways throughout his presidency:

We want you to know your stand and focus on improving Black life has not been in vain. Your Presidential record confirms that with your stand against abortion, policies for school choice, economic revitalization via “Opportunity Zones,” crafting of The Platinum Plan, permanent funding for HBCU’s, and with your criminal justice reforms, you have attempted to improve Black life in every phase of life (from the “womb to the tomb”). This is the exact definition for standing for Every Black Life Matters!

Progressives were alarmed that Trump dramatically increased his share of the male black vote, from about 13 percent in 2016 to 18 percent in November.

As Breitbart News reported, signs of a black “awakening” and a move away from the Democrat Party in the black community included the establishment of Black Voices for Trump; greater focus on jobs as Trump’s economy provided the lowest unemployment numbers on record for the black community; more open black condemnation of abortion; black Christians beciming marginalized by a Democrat Party that increasingly values secularist voters over those of faith; and black parents’ overwhelming support for Trump’s school choice agenda, one that has been condemned by President-elect Joe Biden.

EBLM’s website states its central principles are:

• REAL Justice from Womb to Tomb
• Nuclear Family
• Active Fatherhood
• Free Markets
• Educational Choice
• Non Violence

“We commend and thank you for several great years of providing credence, support, and exemplary leadership in standing for the notion that Every Black Life Matters!” EBLM concluded its letter. “We wholly commend you!”

President Donald Trump delivered his farewell address on Tuesday, urging Americans to carry on the principles he fought for during his presidency.

“I did not seek the easiest course. By far, it was actually the most difficult,” Trump said as he reflected on his presidency.

The president spoke for nearly 20 minutes in a pre-recorded video released on YouTube Tuesday afternoon prior to his departure from the White House on Wednesday morning.

“I did not seek the path that would get the least criticism,” he continued. “I took on the tough battles, the hardest fights, the most difficult choices because that’s what you elected me to do.”

Trump spoke about the nature of his presidency, describing himself as the first “true outsider” to get elected that believed that the United States government should work for its citizens first.

“I fought for you. I fought for your family. I fought for your country,” he said.

The president did not use President-elect Joe Biden’s name in his statement, referring to him only as part of an incoming “new administration.”

He said he would pray for the administration’s success to keep America “safe and prosperous.”

“And we also want them to have luck, a very important word,” he continued.

The president condemned the riots on Capitol Hill after he urged supporters to protest the 2020 presidential election, which was later certified for Biden.

“All Americans were horrified by the assault on our capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.”

Trump said that Americans should rise above the “partisan rancor” in the ongoing debate over ideas and unite for the sake of the country.

“We must never forget that while Americans will always have our disagreements, we are a nation of incredible, decent, faithful, and peace-loving citizens who all want our country to thrive and flourish,” he said.

That debate, he noted, should not be censored, as he alluded to social media companies deplatforming his accounts.

“At the center of this heritage is also a robust belief in free expression, free speech, and open debate,” he said.

He continued, “Only if we forget who we are and how we got here could we ever allow political censorship and blacklisting to take place in America. It’s not even thinkable.”

The president did not speak about his political future but said the America First movement that he started was “only just beginning.”

“There’s never been anything like it,” he said.

Trump said that he did everything that he came to Washington to do and “so much more.”

“I go from this majestic place with a loyal and joyful heart and optimistic spirit, and a supreme confidence that, for our country and for our children, the best is yet to come,” he concluded. “Thank you and farewell.”

Left-wing Hollywood stars are jeering at President Donald Trump and his more than 74 million supporters as the commander in chief enters the final hours of his term, saying “we have all dreamed and prayed for this day.” Elites including Michael Moore, Billy Eichner, Chelsea Handler, Bette Midler, and Jeffrey Wright posted jubilant and in some cases hate-filled messages mocking the outgoing president.

“Fuck Trump, fuck his whole family, fuck anyone that chose to work with him and fuck every single Trump voter,” comedian and Elizabeth Warren stan Billy Eichner tweeted.

“The last inauguration I refused to watch. This one I’m excited  for,” Rosanna Arquette enthused.

“We are now entering the final 24 hrs of this madness. We have all dreamed and prayed and worked for this day,” Michael Moore wrote.

President Donald Trump will officially conclude his term on Wednesday as Joe Biden takes the oath of office. The president has stated that he won’t be in attendance at Biden’s swearing-in ceremony, though Vice President Mike Pence has said he will be present.

Though Joe Biden has urged “unity” and “healing” in recent weeks, his inauguration festivities have so far pointed to more division. The official celebrations have featured starring roles for actress Debra Messing — who has promoted physical violence against President Trump — and a musical ensemble called the Resistance Revival Chorus, which has smeared conservatives as “fascists.”

Adding to the spirit of rancor, Hollywood celebrities are now trashing President Trump and his supporters as he prepares to exit the White House.

Michael Moore tweeted that Trump “was the hidden face of the US, revealed to all. Never again!” He qualified his remarks by adding that Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon were “more evil.”

Comedian Billy Eichner posted an angry, vulgarity-laden tweet in which he attacked the president, the first family, and the president’s more than 74 million supporters.

Sacha Baron Cohen used Trump’s final day in office to once again push for more social media censorship.

Comedian Lewis Black demanded that lawmakers impeach the president during his remaining hours in office.

Actor Jeffrey Wright urged his fans to “wait” for Trump’s final days to come to an end.

Seinfeld star Jason Alexander also urged his fans to “hang in. Almost there.”

Rosanna Arquette mocked Trump by predicting that TV ratings for the Biden-Harris inauguration will be “huge.”

Bette Midler joked that she received “three” presidential pardons after she used Venmo to send money to a wrong account.

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill declared that it is too late for Trump to “rehabilitate his reputation.”

Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer thanks his followers and added: “Today I’m smiling.”

Actor Bradley Whitford smeared Trump and accused him of making a “traitorous allegation” about the election.

Mia Farrow, actor Adam Scott, and comedian Wanda Sykes are counting down the hours to when their personal nightmare comes to an end.

Actor Billy Baldwin, brother of Alec Baldwin, posted a video of Kamala Harris dancing.

Comedian DL Hughley joked that the UPN sitcom Moesha lasted longer than the Trump administration.

Actress Kristen Johnson posted photos in which she is shown flashing her middle finger at the president.

Lady Gaga, who is scheduled to sing the national anthem during Biden’s swearing-in ceremony, offered a rare note of conciliation, urging for “a day of peace for all Americans.”

More than half of the House Republican Conference has committed to vote to remove Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) as the chair of the House GOP Conference.

Juliegrace Brufke, a reporter for the Hill, reported Tuesday that a senior GOP aide told her that more than 115 House Republicans support the effort to express no confidence in Cheney’s leadership of the House Republican Conference. The effort would involve a secret ballot vote to remove Cheney as the chair of the House GOP Conference.

Cheney is the third-ranking Republican in the House, but she has become engulfed in controversy after voting to impeach President Donald Trump.

A senior House Republican confirmed this report to Breitbart News and stated that Republicans believe she should step aside voluntarily to avoid further embarrassment to the conference.

Two Republicans being considered to replace her as House GOP chair are Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

Reps. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) and Andy Biggs (R-AZ) swiftly called for her to step down as the House GOP chair after she announced her intent to vote to impeach Trump. The movement quickly grew from Republicans across the political spectrum, including those in leadership, such as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.

One House Republican predicted to Politico anonymously last week that roughly half of the House Republican Conference would support efforts to oust Cheney as the third-ranking Republican.

Now, more than half of the House GOP have committed to the growing movement to censure the Wyoming Republican.

Cheney’s office has yet to respond to a request for comment regarding the rising number of Republicans calling for her removal as House GOP chair and whether she should resign to save the House GOP further embarrassment.

The report follows as the Carbon County, Wyoming, GOP moved to formally censure Cheney for voting in favor of impeachment against Trump.

The resolution stated:

Representative Cheney has violated the trust of her voters, failed to faithfully represent a very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters, and neglected her duty to represent the party and the will of the people who elected her to represent them.

Republicans such as newly-elected Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Bob Good (R-VA) have argued that Cheney’s support for impeachment has advanced the Democrats’ drive for impeachment against the 45th president.

“Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the Republican Conference Chair advocating for the impeachment of the leader of the Republican party, while not communicating her intentions with conference members before the media, weakens our party at a critical time while we are in the minority,” Good said in a statement last week.

Further, Good said that Cheney does not represent the majority of House Republicans:

Her decision to impeach the president does not represent the majority of our conference. It has only served to become a Democrat talking point to be used against our party during this impeachment debate. Leadership is a privilege, and carries great responsibility.  I believe that privilege has been violated, and I am calling for her to step down as Republican Conference Chair.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who supports efforts to remove Cheney as the House GOP chair, said Tuesday that Cheney has left the America First movement.

The federal government has constructed security walls and fencing across Washington, DC, in anticipation of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’s inauguration on January 20, even as both are opposed to such barriers at the nation’s international borders.

Following riots at the United States Capitol on January 6, the federal government has ordered 25,000 National Guardsmen to Washington, DC, and the construction of barriers around the nation’s historic landmarks to protect from potential unrest.

In photos, crews can be seen erecting barriers with razor wire around the U.S. Capitol. Likewise, similar barriers have been placed along streets in Washington, DC, and around the reflecting pool which sits in between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.

While the barriers will be in place through next week’s inauguration, Biden has promised to stop all construction of wall at the U.S.-Mexico border and has claimed that such barriers do not reduce illegal crossings, though federal data indicates otherwise.

In his call to end President Trump’s national emergency at the southern border, Biden claims that “building a wall will do little to deter criminals and cartels seeking to exploit our borders.”

Similarly, Harris has criticized wall construction at the U.S.-Mexico border as well. Specifically, in 2019, Harris blasted the Trump administration for stationing American troops at the border and for using concertina wire along barriers to help deter illegal crossings. These are the same two tactics now being used in Washington, DC, to protect the Biden-Harris inauguration.

Photos below show the extent of security in the nation’s capital:
